I noticed tonight that when I was copying a 1.2Gb file to my thumb drive that it took forever. From a suggestion in another list I ran in a terminal pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio -vvvv. I've attached the output. One other thing of note, after disabling pulseaudio I was able to copy the file in around 3minutes. In the previous example I had to stop the copy process after 15 minutes at only 50%. This is on: Mandriva 2010 pulseaudio 0.9.19-7mdv2010.0 Gnome 2.28.0 Any other information I need to provide please let me know.
